if I'm honest i don't know any household ... any at all, where décor has been moved around like in my house. I know it's trendy in America but i think if people would know how it's I'm my house they would think I'm bonkers. hmm... 
click on this link to spring décor 
and now when easter celebrations are over I have to think about summer. summer décor. ahh, I wish I could just let it be and don't change stuff around.
lazy décor for this year... anyone! something that I don't want to move! that's the key! I have to look at it and don't think ahh sure, next will be fishing net and urchins hanging from my mantle piece or should I drill few more hooks for few more wall art which I have plenty off. 

maybe you know if there are any vitamins for laziness :) or against creativity urges.
hmm... i kinda like to do seasonal changes indahouse. Like, yesterday I changed my kitchen table cloth with new oilcloth in cappuccino polka dot. da! :D and pulled out our placemats.. fancy!
and today struggling to keep my hands still with newly purchased cement background for photos. I think I know what I gonna do! ill take new images for my cement pots and plants.
or try that photo Speedlight on some kinda funky project, like photographing water drops falling or maybe still life....
​ahh sure  
and why not.

Hi, welcome to my digital footprint

:))) when you think?! All this social media conundrum is your foot print, your digital footprint that will be there FOREVER! Kids! FOREVER! So make sure you leave a nice one!

On this totally miserable day when there is NOTHING else to do other than cuddle up in the bed with laptop and attempt another post possibly.

Before I give up my glue gun and decorative egg stash I wanted to try lightbox for better photos and take a few repeat product photos.
Picture

I tried out lightbox even I don't have proper lights yet. I ordered them  just have to wait and pray that they will arrive. Actually from Aliexpress everything arrives sooner or later. They are very organised there I must say. Seller does not receive payment until buyer confirms delivery. Very organised indeed.
So up here in the gallery you can see my efforts of taking some pics in lightbox with white and black backgrounds. Oh my! Why there is so much mini dust visible on the black one and white balance! where are you?
All I can tell you I am shit at photography and even more on the editing :///// I need to learn a bit more photography art and conker my camera who is not at fault here. There is something I do wrong.
Oh Yea, I forgot to tell you that I actually bought photography course with online coupons which was a scam and on the bright side I got my money back.

At the end of this verbal diarrhoea I shall admit that there are bunch of decent photos. But bloody hell, the struggle is real!

Ciao

From beginning I thought I like more the stylish porcelain bunny pinky wreath but I kind of love the funky yellow couple wreath because it makes me smile... telling you!
Something new has hopped in into my shop today :)))
Finished two Easter wreaths for Etsy shop. 

"The happy couple" and "Bunny abundance". That's how I named them. Don't laugh :)))

Go and check them out on Etsy! And drop me a line which one you like more.

THE excitement of winning something in free giveaways!!! YAY!

I'm one of those people who never win anything in giveaways. One of the reasons most likely is that I don't put much effort in participating in many.

But sometimes I do. AND sometimes I WINN stuff! 

​Have to confess that since I have laptop I live mostly in IT than rather in reality. Not good, but hey..

​Whoever have a laptop knows that that's what it is when you have this toy. Shit happens! 

Well back to what I won!

I won 100€ voucher to use in Kay's Flower School Online Courses.

Totally delighted. I was watching Kay's videos, liking her Facebook posts and noticed it on Instagram but never realised I'm not following Kay's Flower School.

So on another rainy morning I watched live Facebook and clicked away likes and answers.

AND heard my name to be insta winner. YAY!

Cool, isn't! I love floristic and I'm not that bad at it. Now I will be learning and making Floral Table Rings. You can call them wreaths for table centre pieces if you wish.

I think this course is versatile and suits decors for all seasons.
Just after I finish my cute bunny Easter wreaths for Etsy store (not from entirely fresh materials) I will start to source stuff for fresh floral arrangement.

I'm thinking to make fresh spring / Easter arrangement.

​I will definitely share with you pictures and don't forget to check out
Kay's Flower School as well.

This picture on right is from my last year Easter table arrangement :) Charming, right?

Chiao for now

I'm quite proud of my web site... verbal diarrhoea

Every time I open my web site I think it looks very nice.

I know, I don't use it as much as I used to but I like how it looks. its like my guilty pleasure to open at times and just browse though my pages. Ohh I know its useless. just dead web. I gain no money or mega amount of followers but I just like how it looks. And I can go back and see those projects I really enjoyed making.

Or scroll through the seasons décor I very much like to make but still the same issue of not having enough space for crafting. Sometimes I think I should just give up and sell through all my craft stash but that's too much effort and obviously I change my mind on this.

Especially when weather is nice like today and I should just go outside and move around my pot garden and plant some tulips I left in the shed from last year.

This year I was thinking to do more photography. I know that my Nikon is good camera and I don't put much effort in leaning new tricks. I just use my vision of how I want to see the thing and I bet there are millions of tricks / skills I could learn with my camera.

Another thing I want to keep up with is cement planters. I have grown about 30 cactuses and a bunch of succulents. I have made 8 planters at the moment but I have some ideas (as always) to make other décor bits as well. But I have to keep them small. I'm running out of space in my house and patience as well. I feel too cluttered. 

oou and yea, I got to start on that wedding car décor for my friend. I'm thinking tins and flowers and all that "just married" malarkey :) I think it would work out very nice. I bought a bulk of paints. And I have plywood bits. All I need is get up from sofa and do some shit!

Ciao for now
Dace

p.s these are not my best pictures taken with my nice Nikon. I have new laptop ( yay! little nice piece!) where I don't have any of my edited Nikon pictures on. I have to find some app for photo editing.
